The Week of April 5

  Weekly Newsletter   

On Tuesday, we will be taking a field trip to the Georgia Botanical Gardens! Please apply sunscreen and bug spray at home before school. Students are encouraged to wear hats and sunglasses for sun protection. Students should wear socks and walking shoes, as we will be doing quite a bit of walking.



This week, first and second year students will take their final MAP assessments of the school year on Wednesday and Thursday. Please help your child feel prepared by talking with them about the importance of doing their best and taking their time, especially using scratch paper during the math portion.

 It would also help if students come to school well rested and having eaten a full breakfast so they are ready to focus.
